Critic Reviews

75 Planet Dreamcast
While this is not a perfect real-time strategy game, it is simplified enough that most hardcore Dreamcast fans will probably find it to be enjoyable, without having to worry about all of the problems, like resource management, that plagued some PC gamers.
60 Games Domain
What Conflict Zone proves is that until a way is found round the fundamental problems thrown up by the control system, it’s unlikely that any determined real-time strategy fan is ever going to be weaned away from PC.
56 IGN
Clunky controls, gameplay flaws, and uninspired visuals really hamper any enjoyment you may find with this RTS.
42 GameSpot
First-person shooters and real-time strategies are more at home on the PC because they require a mouse and keyboard to be enjoyed to their fullest extent, and Conflict Zone on the Dreamcast is a prime example of why this is the case.
